Abstract

This Law determines that the area of the Croatian part of the Dinara, Troglav and Kamešnica mountains, the source and upper part of the Cetina river and the karst fields along the Cetina (Croatian, Paško and Vrličko) are now declared as the "Dinara" nature park (with a total area of 62,944.48 ha). The area of the Dinara nature park is important because of the preserved original natural values, rich geodiversity, numerous wild species of flora and fauna, endemics and the overall diversity of natural and semi-natural habitats, values derived from centuries-old tradition of human use, indigenous breeds and varieties and rich cultures, among historical heritage preserved in numerous archaeological finds and in cultural and historical sites. For all issues that are not directly regulated by this text, the provisions of the Croatian Law on nature protection shall be applied.
